Hiking in coyote land; this morning I saw two of them. ...................Hiking is for my feet, and the mini gym is for my arms and general health.
Left: I liked this Belgian Malinois at the County Shelter, but he had a rash. The Shelter Veterinarian had no clue what it is but gave him an antibiotic shot. The next morning at home his face had gotten much worse, and even his eyes were affected. I was afraid that the rash could be infectious and my pack could get it. So, with bleeding heart, I returned the poor guy to the shelter. If they can heal it, I'll take him again. The Mali is 2 y/o and 50 pounds but looks larger than my older pups between 65 and 96 pounds. PS, behind the Boxers are my wife's chicken supplies.
Right: In the meantime, I discovered that the www.westcoastboxerrescue.org has a dozen Boxers listed on their website. Well, I don't expect that they give me this fabulous guy, but I prefer to adopt a decent Boxer to any other breed. I even paid $10 for my application to be processed and keep my fingers crossed. It can take up to ten days before this volunteer group lets me know. My boys are going downhill, and I am looking for replacement.
@hollydolly I sent you a picture of Mali's blisters.

Nowhere that would take any notice.. I could send it to the Council offices but I guarantee I would get no response...

I took advantage of another relatively cool morning to continue straightening up in the garden patches.
There's a plant that sends up shoots all over. I must have dug up 8 or 9. They grown on a long underground runners. Google Lens shows many similar plants, but my guess is staghorn sumac (see photo). We haven't had but an occasional splash-and-dash shower. The ground is dust no matter how far down I dug.
The catnip is all but burnt to a crisp. I hope the roots can take the drought and it will return next year.
A few mullein seedlings - they look like fuzzy cabbage leaves. No problem with those - the roots are shallow and can easily be pulled out by hand.
Also cut back the dried up milkweed stalks. The milkweeds are great-grandchildren of milkweed seeds I brought from the old house. I let them grow, but never see any monarch caterpillars on them. They may like milkweed, but it is an ugly plant and worse looking when it dries out. Makes the whole place look unkempt.
That's enough for me today!

Had a friend pass thru here yesterday. Drove her to the airport at 5am. It is so fun to see friends.
Beautiful, hot, sunny day! Was just out, reading a psychological self-help book, which was recommended here by someone:
Feeling Good, the New Mood Therapy by Dr. David Burns. Thanks, SFer, I forgot who you are!
This morning podiatrist burst repulsive blood blister, UGH! Left foot pretty swollen. She, the doc, sending nurse to me 3X a week to change complicated dressing. Also put on forgot what you call them, pills against infection. Oh, my busted brain. Anyway, you all know what I mean. See this doc again in two weeks. She is very caring, gentle. She stuck needles in various toes which did not hurt.
I am hobbling, but what's the rush?

Has anyone here ( ladies ) worn Hoka trainers( sneakers) ?
I wear mostly Skechers.. but I have various other brands I own too, like Adidas, Slazenger, Nike, Levis'.. etc.. and I have many boots..Skecher boots amongst them
I first came across Skechers some years ago when I got Plantar fascitis from standing 10-12 hours a day on concrete studio floors and my feet were so painful I would have happily allowed someone to amputate them
The Skechers, in particular and the other cushioned sole trainers were the saving of my feet.. and I have many pairs now ..
however having worn trainers all summer ..as I usually do... yesterday it was raining so I went out wearing ankle boots.. They're these... not my best quality boots, or skechers, but smart boots anyway ...
I had to walk a little bit yesterday...probably all in all less than 2 miles... and my feet were so sore I couldn't even think straight... killing me!
The soles are very thin....
It became patently obvious I usually only wear these when I'm not walking anywhere much..
Anyway, to the point... someone told me to try HOKA trainers... .. I had a look at them, not really my kind of style.. and quite expensive.. but I wondered if anyone here has them or worn them... and how they might compare to Go-ga mat cushioned insole style Skechers

I have a pair of Hokas, @hollydolly …. I honestly don’t see that they are different enough for the price. But others may have a different outlookHas anyone here ( ladies ) worn Hoka trainers( sneakers) ?
